Remote Desktop

I hate to admit it, but I have to use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection on my Mac to administer a heating/ventilation/air conditioning system at a remote site.

I'd like to use Simon to check to see if the Terminal Service on the remote machine is running - it's a standard Windows service on port 3389; one way to check is to telnet to that port. If a telnet session connects, it is successful; if it fails to connect, that's a failure.

Is there any way to create a new test (using Edit Service...) just to test the connection?
